This may not be the holy grail but it works in CT.I hope this appeals to any person who plays by the month.I'm on my states archive every day trying to figure out what the 1st day of the months drawing has to do(if any) in relation to the rest of the month.I found something and back tested for the past year and it checks out and it goes like this....
Take the 2nd and third digit/divide by 2(1st day of the month night draw) then subtract 3 then run a 4 number sequnce like this..This is CT's breakdown
7/1/2007
1st day of mnth drawn=540 >>40divided by 2=520 minus 4= 516-517-518-519

9/1/2007
1st day of mnth drawn= 061>>61 divided by 2 we'll use the lesser30=030 minus 4= 036-037-038-039
073 was drawn on 9/18/2007 BTW variations of 036 were drawn twice that month.(I'm sure every state is familiar with 036's repetitiveness annually)

481 drawn 5/16/2008..415 drawn5/28 midday..471 drawn 5/28 night
1st number drawn this month was 457=429 minus 4=425-426-427-428
429 drawn 6/17..1 more day in this mnth hope it sticks.
..the upside to this is that anyone with savy and familiarized with how the number sums bounce could narrow this down to 2 numbers with proper straight positioning..and the beginning of a new month is near!The downside is you'd have to play mid and night to cover yourself.Like I said it ain't the holy grail,but it's consistent.Hopefully it works in someone elses state too!I just stumbled upon this 3 hours ago but I'm definitely gonna give it a whirl in july.
